Board alerted to proposed bus‑monitoring services that could top $300,000
Summary
District staff flagged a draft, not‑to‑exceed contract to provide bus monitoring services with Booker T. Washington Center; the estimate put the total close to $300,000 and board members were asked to watch the item on the upcoming agenda.
District staff alerted board members that an item on next week’s draft agenda — proposed bus monitoring services with Booker T. Washington Center for EMTA buses — was progressing through workflow and could represent a contract-valued program of nearly $300,000 if approved.
Neil (facilities/operations staff) told the board that the item, currently a placeholder in the draft agenda, is still under negotiation and that the district hoped to cover buses that transport students from Erie High and Collegiate Academy. He said the contract had been drafted as a not‑to‑exceed agreement and that total employment costs for the monitoring service across the scheduled routes could run close to $300,000.
Board members were asked to pay close attention to that agenda item; staff said negotiations continued and that documents should be available in BoardDocs when the agenda is finalized. No vote or final contract terms were provided in the meeting.
Board members raised questions about scope (which buses and routes would be covered) and asked for clarity on contract length and cost before the item is presented for approval.
